Foggy, if you are using the CAIC for the Herman Gulch, I suspect its incorrect. Its been wonky for a while. -48 on Jan 13th at 4pm does not sound right. But yes, the Fraser Valley is nice and chilly. Cheers!

Yeah, I HIGHLY doubt -34

Yeah, I wondered about that Herman Gulch thing. None the less, this is as cold as i has been all winter.

D Root, you from around here? I live in Tabernash.

**d-root** · 01-14-2019, 02:04 PM

Yup, Fraser. A long time lurker. Always enjoyed the entertainment here!

Dog is gonna have to wait for a bit

It was a balmy 14° with a nice 10mph east wind at Otto's this morning! Now I feel like a wimp for having cold fingers

You mutha fucka! I tried Ottos Saturday but it was a no go. I'm defiantly jealous of you Eagle guys being 2 hours closer in the winter. An extra puffy and hand warmers are key for winter flying.

Does anyone have any suggestions for bars and restaurants in Breck? I'll be in town next week. I've skied there before, but this will be my first time staying in town.

Nope. That place is a shitshow.

Thanks!

One more question: better to park at F lot or the gondola lots? We're staying just south of town so will probably drive in.

Gondola lots during the week for better Peak 8 access. F lot on the weekend....maybe....I avoid Breck completely on Saturdays.

Stay at fastfred's house like I do. He likes when you bring ladies home from the bedpan saloon.

**Fritz** · 01-16-2019, 11:28 AM

Classy ladies I’m sure.

Solid list by cmsummit. For breakfast check out daylight (cash only) columbine cafe and the Crown.

Some people know the rules and others have a hard time with them.

And if you throw up on anything you bought it

definitely the crown...oh wait

**ffmedic84** · 01-17-2019, 07:55 AM

What am I waiting for?

**Foggy_Goggles** · 01-17-2019, 01:16 PM

Aren't we supposed to the planning, scheming, and generally freaking about about this:

We can catch our breath for a few hours today before the next big wave of moisture enters the state. This next round is going to be juicy and will bump a good number of zones into HIGH (Level 4) danger by Monday morning. Steamboat and the Flat Tops are going to get walloped with forecast storm totals in the 20-30" range. Vail/Summit County and the Front Range aren't quite as exciting, but look to grab 10-16".

**simple** · 01-17-2019, 01:26 PM

Starting to puke in WY and UT. Hopefully we get that wave soon.

Just started snowing on grand Mesa. Coming in warm.

**MakersTeleMark** · 01-17-2019, 05:29 PM

#walloped

**smmokan** · 01-17-2019, 06:36 PM

Started snowing pretty hard in Eagle about an hour ago. It was pretty warm here today (45*), but just before the snow started the temp dropped by about 15 degrees and it got super windy. Hopefully this keeps up for the next 36 hours.
